Sheng Youde took Xiang He away after she woke up. Of course, all the expenses were settled by the Sheng family, as well as He Jin's rescue fee and the cost of the life support system for three days.
"Master Lu, you must try to save Xiao He. I'm sorry for him."
Before leaving, Xianghe held Lu Ming's hand tightly and said with tears in her eyes.
"I will try my best, and the hospital is also doing its best, don't worry." Lu Ming comforted.
He could only comfort him like this. At this point, neither he nor the hospital could do much. Whether He Jin could wake up and whether the body's nervous system could break through the obstacles and recover depended on his survival.
Is the desire strong enough?
Although doctors like to regard themselves as the God of their patients, doctors are not God after all. In many cases, they can only transfer their patients to the real God and let them accept God's arrangements.
This God is not the God in heaven, but the patient himself.
People who have experienced the struggle of life and death may discover this: everyone is his own god, and in the end, he has to rely on himself for life and death.
Zhang Ziyang also went back, and he had to go back to the police station to write a report. Two people were poisoned, one died of the poison, and the other may become a vegetative state. Moreover, this person was still in his car when he was poisoned. This is
After the report is written, the case must be filed and a file must be established.
He left two armed policemen and two plainclothes detectives outside the ward. Someone would come to replace them in the middle of the night.
Lu Ming stood outside Tongren Hospital waiting for Yan Xiaohui. He thought about pretending to have forgotten the appointment and sneaking away, but that would completely offend Yan Xiaohui. How would he see anyone in the future? Do you still want to ask for help?
You can't really become a liar.
Somehow, Lu Ming always felt that he would beg Yan Xiaohui again in the future. The hospital was a gateway to death and a place of hope. Yan Xiaohui, a great god, could not afford to offend him.
"Oh, you're still waiting here. I thought you were scared away." Yan Xiaohui, who had changed into a cheongsam and wore high heels, walked out with a bright face. She was surprised to see Lu Ming waiting honestly.
.
"I want to run, but I'm too timid and don't dare to run." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"You are still timid. If you were timid, there would be no bold people in Shanghai." Yan Xiaohui said.
"Are you praising me or disparaging me?"
The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked to Yan Xiaohui's car. Lu Ming opened the door and asked Yan Xiaohui to get in, acting like a gentleman.
"The situation in the Sheng family is very deep. You'd better get out of it and don't get stuck in it." Yan Xiaohui started the car and said this abruptly.
"Miss Sheng is missing, how can I ignore it..." Lu Ming knew what Yan Xiaohui meant, but he couldn't speak too directly.
He didn't notice that the car had started, and he was suddenly squeezed against the seat, unable to speak the last half of his sentence clearly.
Yan Xiaohui turned his face and glanced at Lu Ming. His expression was meaningful, containing both concern and care.
"Do you know something about the inside story?" Lu Ming suddenly remembered that the Yan family was also in the cocoon silk business and had cooperative relationships with several large Japanese companies.
"I don't know anything. I just remind you a few words as a bystander. You will understand later." Yan Xiaohui said calmly.
"That's it?"
"That's all."
Lu Ming concluded that Yan Xiaohui must know something, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything if they didn't tell him. Yan Xiaohui was not the two bodyguards and could be arrested at the police station for questioning.
Lu Ming weighed it and said in a tentative tone: "I'm worried that Miss Sheng will be poisoned one day, but I don't know how to deal with this matter, so..."
"You also know that this is the Japanese taking action against the Sheng family. They were poisoned by dolphin fish poison twice in succession. Do you think this is an accident? And the Japanese have no intention of hiding it from others. Otherwise, they can totally
It's not difficult to use a covert method. If you use dolphin toxin openly, don't you think about why they do it?" Yan Xiaohui replied.
Yan Xiaohui couldn't go any further. She had her own conjectures, but she couldn't tell Lu Ming everything.
But one thing is certain, she is worried that Lu Ming was poisoned by dolphin poison, or was shot in a dark alley in Shanghai.
"The Japanese are too arrogant. They want to expand their power in Shanghai. Are they testing the water temperature by dealing with Sheng Youde?" Lu Ming expressed his thoughts.
"We are all people who have studied abroad. We should know that reason is more important than emotion in many cases. I know the relationship between you and Mu Yi, and I also know the relationship between you and the Sheng family, but have you ever thought about it: Are you really
Do you know the Sheng family? Do you really know Sheng Youde?" Yan Xiaohui said.
Lu Ming did not answer. He understood that Yan Xiaohui only wanted to wake him up by saying this to him, rather than asking him to answer.
Yes, does he really understand the Sheng family?
Of course he didn't understand, and he didn't actually know much about Sheng Youde. After all, the person who knew Sheng Youde best was his father, not him. However, his father almost never talked about Sheng Youde, nor about Sheng Youde.
Family matters.
Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to this matter before, but looking back now, it seems that his father has been avoiding all topics related to Sheng Youde and the Sheng family, intentionally or unintentionally.
Sheng Youde once specifically reminded him that the Sheng family's affairs should not be trusted by anyone except Sheng Youde himself. Of course, this was what he said after Sheng Muyi disappeared, and it should not include Sheng Muyi.
This sentence contains hidden secrets and even murderous intentions.
Lu Ming's mind was a little confused, but one thing he was clear about was that his employer was Sheng Youde and not someone else, so no matter what, he still had to be loyal to his employer.
But he knew that Sheng Youde didn't tell him the truth and was obviously hiding something. What was the purpose of this? Did he just want him to track down Sheng Muyi's whereabouts and not let him care about anything else? Is that what he meant?
For example, when the Sheng family was collectively poisoned, Tongren Hospital tested positive for dolphin fish toxin, but Sheng Youde used money to suppress the incident and did not take any measures against the Japanese afterwards.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that he wanted to use his personal connections to find the murderer, but unfortunately he failed to find it, but Lu Ming felt that things were not that simple.
At the very least, Lu Ming couldn't understand why the Japanese wanted to challenge Sheng Youde in Shanghai.
Sheng Youde is the most powerful Chinese in Shanghai. Over the years, even the more powerful British, French and Americans have not easily offended him.
After all, we are on Chinese soil. Don’t the Japanese understand that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake?
"By the way, let me ask you something, have the Japanese ever borrowed money from your family?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"Borrow money? Why? Japanese businessmen are very rich, why would they borrow money from my family?" Yan Xiaohui asked doubtfully.
"So under what circumstances would a Japanese borrow money from a Chinese?" Lu Ming asked again with a smile.
"You are trying to trick me." Yan Xiaohui understood.
"That's not really true. There's just something that puzzles me, so I want to ask you."
"It's normal for foreigners to borrow money. You know my family also has a bank. Those businessmen from Britain, France and the United States are not all rich. On the contrary, most of them are poor white people who come to Shanghai to dig for gold. They are in
We can't borrow money in our country, so my bank has these poor white people coming to borrow money almost every day. But, strangely enough, no Japanese have really come to borrow money? Not one." Yan Xiaohui was a little confused and slowed down.
The speed of driving.
"Are all the Japanese in Shanghai rich? They are never short of money?" Lu Ming continued to ask.
He really didn't know much about the situation of foreigners in Shanghai. After all, he rarely interacted with these foreigners.
"That's not true. Japanese men are different from European and American men. They are so poor that they can't afford to eat. They would rather sell their wives and daughters than open their mouths to borrow money from others." Yan Xiaohui said with a look of disdain, obviously
I look down on the stubbornness of Japanese men.
Lu Ming nodded. Of course he knew that not only in the Japanese Concession, but also in the Public Concession, there were many Japanese engaged in the porn industry, and all of them were Japanese women. Most of the people who patronized this place were Chinese men, euphemistically appreciating the exotic customs.
"Where are those impoverished Japanese ronin?" Lu Ming asked again.
"Oh, those people are all hired by others. They seem to be extremely poor. In fact, they are not short of money, but their employers are very mysterious..." Yan Xiaohui said, suddenly stopped, not wanting to
Let’s go on.
"What's so mysterious? Isn't it the Black Dragon Society?" Lu Ming thought he could pierce the window paper.
"It's not that simple. The Black Dragon Society is like the Blue and Red Gang, which combines three religions and nine streams. There are indeed many ronin in it, but not all ronin belong to the Black Dragon Society. Some of the ronin's employers are unknown. The Manchurian Railway Company also hires ronin as thugs."
Yan Xiaohui explained.
Lu Ming nodded. Not only Japanese people hire ronin, but some Europeans and Americans also like to hire Japanese ronin to do some shady things.
Along the way, Yan Xiaohui talked a lot, which made Lu Ming seem to see a new world. Although it was also in Shanghai, it was a world he was unfamiliar with.
After entering the Star Cafe owned by Yan Xiaohui's family, the two of them changed the topic in a tacit understanding. Instead of talking about the original topic, they talked about interesting things about each other's studies abroad.
After drinking the coffee, as usual no one came to collect the money. Lu Ming said a little awkwardly: "How about I treat you to some Western food? There is a very good French restaurant in the French Concession."
"The invitation to dinner is a lie, you still want to trick me, right?" Yan Xiaohui said with a smile.
Lu Ming looked a little embarrassed and said: "Well, it's really not the case. I just think that a conversation with you is worth ten years of studying, so I should express my gratitude."
"Okay, then seriously consider what I told you." Yan Xiaohui said mischievously.
Of course Lu Ming knew what Yan Xiaohui was referring to. The key point was how to position the relationship between the two of them.
"I won't tease you anymore. Forget it for today. I owe you my debt first. I have to go and do something to help my father." Yan Xiaohui said with a smile.
"You are the eldest lady, do you still need to be busy with your family's affairs?" Lu Ming responded casually.
"A relatively important Japanese is coming to Shanghai. My father plans to hold a grand welcome party for him. I have to help organize it." Yan Xiaohui said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"What important Japanese?" Lu Ming's ears suddenly stood up. He was a little allergic to the word "Japanese" now.
"I heard from my father that it seems that Shigeru Honjo, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, came to Shanghai for a trip."
"He is a senior official of the Japanese military. How can your family deal with the Japanese military when doing business?"
"You don't know this. Japan is different from China. The business world and the military are inextricably linked. By the way, when the time comes, you will also come and sit at home. Don't you want to know more about the Japanese?"
Yan Xiaohui sent out the invitation.
"Okay, I will definitely come when the time comes." Lu Ming felt very sudden and had some doubts about the Yan family.
